Ambassador to Italy Cooray sows wind and reaps whirlwind against SL : his cheap politics put locals there in turmoil

(Lanka-e-News-18.Feb.2014, 5.30PM) Nawalage Bennet Cooray , a retired pensioner and politician suffering from senile decay but still functioning as the Sri Lanka Ambassador to Italy, by trespassing on his limits of duty as an ambassador is creating a lot of embarrassment and harassment to the Sri Lankans there. Cooray ‘s official actions which are anti national and undiplomatic are a cause of misery to all locals in Italy.

This Ambassador who arrived in Milano city on 15th from Rome had summoned some Sri Lankans to a Restaurant ‘ Lucky seven’ that belongs to an individual by the name of Sunil . The Lankans who thought that Cooray the ambassador had arrived there and summoned them because of some important matters pertaining to his official duties have responded irrespective of party differences . To their great disappointment and dismay, this duffer Cooray instead of living up to expectations had indulged in out of place and out of point irresponsible utterances not in keeping with his official and responsible duties as an ambassador. He had blabbered and blurted that Mahinda Rajapkse is going to be electrocuted in the electric chair , and therefore those who gathered there should go to Geneva and stage their demonstrations against it. The government had sent Euro 50,000 (people’s money!) to be utilized towards this Geneva ‘project,’ he added .

Part of the crowd who were present have registered their protest against this duffer’s political speech serving the beleaguered Rajapakses and not the country. At that juncture , Cooray had slyly slipped into the background. 

Previously too similar ‘jolly tours’ had been organized by the SL embassy in Italy , but no ambassador had come forward and made such stupid or utterly uncalled for political speeches which are clearly outside the ambassadorial duties. Though other officers of the embassy have performed that duty, never has an ambassador acted this disdainful and deplorable way which is a gross breach of time honored fundamental traditions of a diplomatic mission , and this is such a grave wrong that it gives the right to that country to express its displeasure and give an order to rid this duffer cum bluffer of an ambassador from Italy , and send him back home most disgracefully.

In any event , based on reports reaching Lanka e news , the Italian authorities this time are fully ready to take stern measures against those who are taken in bus loads to Geneva to stage protests in favor of violation of human rights .

While Italy is doing everything to protect human rights , some of the citizens in were justifiable during the Sri Lankan war . The Italian authorities are considering the silliness of this view vis a vis groups in Italy who have taken up citizenship in that country on the ground that their human rights have been violated during the war.

Italian authorities’ aim and objective is not to fall in line with or into the traps of the cheap petty foul agendas of the Rajapakses , rather to protect the peaceful co existence of every Tamil and Sinhalese who have become citizens of that country. Strong measures are being put in place to ensure this , the authorities added.

Officers in Italy deeply regret that because of the irresponsible moronic actions of Bennet Cooray , who knows next to nothing about foreign diplomacy and the cause of political whirlwinds against his country is himself sowing the wind and reaping that dangerous whirlwind .

It is the consensus , the Sri Lankans in that country are being driven into serious problems by Cooray following policies that are antagonistic to that country , despite being the SL Ambassador to that country.
